Welcome!

This workbook has been put together to help people new to research understand the elements involved in creating a good research project.

Each year, The Peregrine Centre has offered a pool of research funds for research that is innovative, implementation based, and focused on rural mental health practice. You can check out past recipients of the grant here and some summaries of the research conducted here.

This research workbook was created to support people to put together the best possible application for the Small Research Project Grant. Within this workbook, we talk about general considerations when designing a research project, as well as specific considerations when applying for the Small Research Project Grant.

If you are completing this workbook at a time when Small Grants are not open, or for your own interest, there may be some things that are not relevant for you. For example, you’ll notice throughout the workbook that a consultation with a RA (Research Associate) is required; this is part of our small grants application process.  If you are interested in going through the workbook as part of a group, why not join our Research Think Tank. This group is aimed at clinicians (and early career researchers) to learn research skills to be able to implement in their local setting.
